NIST’s AI guidance pushes cybersecurity boundaries
Tags: access, ai, ciso, control, cybersecurity, data, defense, exploit, framework, intelligence, nist, risk, risk-assessment, software, threatThe limits of ‘AI is just software’: NIST’s instinct to frame AI as an extension of traditional software allows organizations to reuse familiar concepts, risk assessment, access control, logging, defense in depth, rather than starting from zero. Workshop participants repeatedly emphasized that many controls do transfer, at least in principle.But some experts argue that the…

This provides the opportunity to eliminate these vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by cybercriminals.Prioritize risk management measures: Not every system is critical, and not all of a company’s data is equally important. The results of the risk…

No more orange juice? Why one ship reveals America’s maritime cybersecurity crisis
This is a workforce problem, not a vendor problem: The new regulations require all 3,000 MTSA facilities to designate a cybersecurity officer (why the Coast Guard named them CySOs and couldn’t just call them CISOs, I do not know). Finding hundreds of qualified people who understand both operational technology in maritime environments and cybersecurity is…
